letter to affirm his belief that the Grand Army
would not have tolerated any scandalous attempt
to degrade the dignity of the Presidential Office
II he had faith in the patriotism of the soldiers
why did he not go to the Encampment? Certainly,
IL the soldiers were prepared by large majority
to protect him from insult and to discountenance
unfair and unworthy assaults upon him, the

imperilIed at the Encampment Why, then has
he concluded TO stay away? What does he fear ?

trial their retention in the jury-box would have
been palpably improper. Probably miscar-

of challenging them after being sworn was not
admitted by the Judge. but he claimed and ex-
ercised the discretion of ordering them to step
aside. The bailiff in the case got off with an
admonition, in spite of apparently crooked
work on his part.

At the election in North Paddington the Lib
erals succeeded in reducing the Tory majority
of Oil last year by nearly 500. To overcome
that majority in such strong Conservative
constituency was not considered possible, and
while the result is not so agreeable as that in
Lincolnshire last week, it is fully as significant.
The Liberal gam is large enough to show how
strongly the tide is setting in favor Of Home
Rule. The total vote yesterday was 353 great

The Potato Beetle.

The Colorado potato beetle is no longer
considered as an impossible barrier to a
good field of potatoes. Paris green leads
us Ii certain and effectual remedy for this
pest, and, when properly applied, early
when the potatoes and the bugs make
their start, will do its perfect work. But
Paris green must be carefully handled,
not only because it is poison likely to
injure both man and beast, but because
when applied to the plants too strong it
Injuries the foliage almost, if not quite, as
much as do the beetles. Whether APP
piled in water through sprinkler or in
plaster through sitter or bellows, be
sure and not have too great u proportion
of the poison.
While it is easier to apply Paris green,
diluted in water, to the vines it may be
more uniformly applied, and with less
danger to the foliage, by mixing it with
plaster. One part of pure Paris green to
100 parts of plaster, thoroughly mixed to-
gether, so that the plaster will be slightly
tinted throughout with the poison, will be
found satisfactory mixture. Sifters and
bellows for busting the vines are now
sold ut most hardware stores at a small
cost compared with their usefulness and
convenience.

Color in Cattle.

Progressive breeders are awakening to
the fact that the color craze in stock breed
ing has been carried to absurd extremes,
and if not stopped will be very detrimental
to the improvements that intelligent men
are laboring to bring about in our farm
stock. Every stock show illustrates the
i'll effects of the fashion that urged the re-
lection of all animals not of 'solid colors, "
regardless OF profitable excellence in re-
spect to form, etc. A well known short
horn breeder in talk on this subject
says: "Any breeder who will select an
inferior red animal to superior animal
of any other color libels his own charac-
ter and disgraces the short horn blood
whether he is aware of the fact or not"

placed on level, and the platform to
catch the droppings, II may he just high
enough to be handy in cleaning, and the
perches about one foot above IL. All
perches should lie movable, so as to facili'
tate the application OF kerosene, when
necessary, to every part. ....
Perches should he at least two inches
wide and rest firmly in slot or mortise.
Fowls will cling TO one edge OF wide
perch, and the width will give opportunity
to rest the weight on the shanks. A very
narrow perch makes 1t necessary TO bear
the weight on the breast bone, mainly In
one spot, and thus II becomes bent to one
side. This deformity Is caused, In many
instances, by roasting on the chine OF a
barrel, or on the small limbs Of trees. Old
fowls have their bones hardened SO that
they will stand the pressure without bend
ing, but all should have wide perches. -

MEASURING DEVICE. cross piece in such
manner that the side pieces will be
held firm SO they cannot spread.
The strips should be shaved to a
sharp point, or II iron points are fastened
on they would be better, as they slip on
hard ground If you are not careful. When
you want to measure you take the imple-
ment, set one of its feet on the ground,
then bring it in line with the side Of the
field. Then turn it so the other foot will
touch the ground, continue turning it so
as to make it step, as mechanic does
with pair of compasses, until you have
measured the side of the field. Then
divide the number of steps you have made
with it by three and you will have the
number of rods you have passed over, as
three steps makes rod
Another convenience for the farm de-
scribed by The Indiana Farmer is a set OF
stakes. These are often required to start
the first row with the corn planter or
worker and dozens of other places. If
you have the socket of an old hoe that is
worn out or an old socket chisel, take it
to the blacksmith and have him straighten
and sharpen it. Then get good straight
grained timber, that will not break if n
horse steps on it, and fit the sockets on to
il. You will have a stake that can be set
in any ground that is not too hard to
pillow, and will seldom blow down. A
convenient length is the width of two
corn rows, which is from seven to eight
feet. When not in use keep them in the
tool house and you will always have them
convenient for use.

The Silk Growing Industry.

1t is believed by many that the depart
ment of agriculture's new departure in
setting up machinery in Washington for
winding the silk from cocOons will result
in considerable extension of the silk grow
ing industry in this country. Great in
terest is manifested in the experiments,
and the demand for copies of the bulletin
on sill.worm culture has made it necessary
to issue seven or eight editions, Oflcials
of the department say that the requests
for sikworm eggs greatly exceed those re-
ceived in any previous year since the de-
partment began its distribution. AS a
consequence it is expected that large guam
titles of American grown silk will be
placed on the market this year.

attached to the inner sides of the posts
and supported by brackets. The whole

work between the posts, should be rem
dered durable with heavy coat of crude
petroleum applied with a coarse brush.
Posts and lattice work thus treated may
then become supports for the light trailing

FIG. 9. RUSTIC HOUSE.

Fig. 9 represents summer house
mostly of rustic work, placed on a rise of
ground for obtaining an extended view of
the country The posts may be set in the
ground, as in the structure shown in Fig
/ if the soil will admit it; or they may
be secured in position by timber frame
work. It may be borne in mind that the
posts in such structures need not be set at
much depth, as they are retained in posi-
ton by the rest of the framework when it
is finished.
The serious mistake is sometimes made
of placing toe many arbors and covered
seats on limited grounds. These should
never be put where they do not appear to
be really needed for the purpose intended;
and care should be taken to adapt the
peculiar structure to its proper place.

Rnosts for Fowls.

There is no advantage in placing perches
one above another, stair fashion, in the
hypotenuse of triangle. If they be
thus arranged the distance of the perches
from each other must be measured on the
base of the triangle, from the fact that the
droppings fall perpendicularly They
should be far enough apart to avoid soil
ing of plumage.
If there is no economy Of space i'll this
arrangement, there is no argument for it.
Fowls will jump from the lowest perch to
the next, and so on to the highest, and
then quarrel. They all want the highest
place 1t is preferable to have the perches
